Mark Williams Questions Lakers' Rescinded Trade Due to Physical

Mark Williams, the Charlotte Hornets center, expressed confusion over his failed physical that led to the Los Angeles Lakers rescinding a trade for him. Despite the Lakers citing health concerns, Williams maintained that he felt healthy and had been playing significant minutes prior to the trade's collapse. He described the emotional toll of shifting from excitement about joining the Lakers to returning to the Hornets, noting that he has fully recovered from past injuries. Both Williams and the Hornets reportedly felt blindsided by the Lakers' decision, and Williams is expected to play against the Lakers soon, potentially motivated to prove his worth. This situation has raised questions about the Lakers' medical assessments and the implications for both teams moving forward. The trade failure has left a notable mark on Williams' career trajectory and the Lakers' roster plans.
